The *Official Net54 Music Thread*
SO much can be said about a person from their music preferences.
I was born/raised a Zeppelin fan .... there was no getting around it. I am a classic rock junkie that grew into the Grateful Dead .... and after Jerry died I fell in love with Phish and Dave Matthews. These days I am all about some Dave. If the ticket stubs were worth money I'd be a millionaire. I have quite a collection of Dave stubs/pics...... who gets your gizzard? What do you groove to?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsHK4H4XsZ0 |
Even After Jerry
Still a Dead Head....but I like all kinds of music.

I grew up playing Led Zep, but in my spare time I liked to listen to the other side of the coin.

I listen to mostly everything that isn't too recent. I'm a big Jazz fan, especially of Hampton Hawes. Music is like sports with me, all the guys I really admire were way before my time and I never got/will get to see them perform.

I have a very wide range of musical likes, and enjoy trying new music. I've had an allergy to Top 40 radio music since I was a teenager. Favorite genres include:
Traditional classical : Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, Samuel Barber, Handel. I have season tickets to the Seattle Symphony. Avante guard classical : Gyorgi Ligeti, Anton Webern, Alban Berg, Krzysztof Penderecki 1980s alternative rock : The Psychedelic Furs (my favorite band), The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, Bauhaus, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Hardcore Punk: Discharge, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat Extreme Metal: Sunn 0))), Celtic Frost, Electric Wizard Other: Roxy Music/Brian Ferry, Cliff Martinez (modern movie soundtrack composer) Of the above Ligeti, Penderecki and Sunn 0))) are the most challenging-- very different than traditional or 'normal' music. Remember when I added my comments about the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame elections? Now you have an idea of my point of view. ** Sample below of Sunn 0))) if you want to know what extreme metal sounds like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOyvQEQYFLY ** Sample below of Gyorgi Ligeti, avante guard classical composer from Hungary. One of director Stanley Kubrick's favorites. Amazingly, this piece is played by a life classical orchestra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI0P1NnUFxc ** Sample of Discharge, legendary underground band from England that produced some of the loudest music on the planet. "Hurricane Wall of Sound" is how one early critic described their sound. All their very short songs (hardcore punk songs are usually short, sometimes under a minute) are traditional British protests songs but communicated in a sonically 'scorched earth' way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk9v6AM1hUk ** And last, but least, a much more accessible wall of sound 'pop' song from the wonderful British band The Psychedelic Furs. The singer, Richard Butler, has one of the most distinct voices in rock. Hoarse, flat yet melodic-- well demonstrated in this song. One of my favorite bands since I was 15. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfwidISjX2c P.s. I wasn't trying to convert anyone to Sunn 0))) or Discharge, but I wasn't attempting to post to stuff (or type of stuff) you've heard 100 times before. I'm sure you all already now what Lovely Rita Meter Maid sounds like (a song that I like, by the way). |
Hendrix
Black Sabbath White Zombie I like a bunch of stuff, but those are probably my three favorites. The rest comes down to individual songs, although I'm partial to later Beatles, and most stuff from say 67-70. Steve B |
I'm a huge Rolling Stones fan.I listen to a classic rock sation all day at work.
Some new stuff also.(Offspring,Linkin Park) stuff like that. |
Melodic Hardcore Punk and alt.Americana are my two favorite genres. Bad Religion and Leatherface i.r.o. the former and Two Cow Garage and Lucero re the latter pretty much sums it up. I like a lot of other stuff too but that's what really does it for me.
|
I have pretty eclectic tastes. Some examples:
Grateful Dead Tom Waits Laurie Anderson Tom Russel The Jam X The Specials Jazz - especially avant garde/outside and bebop Led Zeppelin Peter Case Sonic Youth Opal Rolling Stones The Selecter Dave Alvin Thelonious Monster JimB |
Slightly Stoopid and Rise Against are my top two favorites, I see them in concert as often as possible.
Others include Strung Out, Anti-Flag, Swingin' Utters, Good Riddance, and Rancid. But I'll listen to almost anything as long as its not Justin Bieber haha |

Great thread !!!
Love the Zappa video.....I like all kinds of music~ mostly what I grew up with. Classic rock, metal, hardcore punk, etc. I've even seen the Grateful Dead :D (been to more Dead shows than I've seen them play-the parking lot was usually a true place of American freedom :D). I guess I choose what to listen to by whatever mood I'm in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx1ATUVDdCk Sincerely, Clayton |

A track off of one of my all time favorite albums:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw1Fm61HBA8 Sincerely, Clayton |
Pink, Black and colors of the Rainbow!
Pink Floyd (not Syd Barrett years, but more later years w/Gilmour taking the lead)
Black Sabbath (Ozzie and Dio, none of the other pretenders) Blue Oyster Cult (toured with Sabbath, what a show!) Rainbow (Rising is not only the greatest album cover art, but RJD shows why he is the Rock God of vocalists and Cozy Powell absolutely kills the drum kit!) Sister Hazel (definitely not the same genre as above, but these guys are fantastic!....i recommend Fortress) Toad the Wet Sprocket (what, no reference to a color in the name? ....talented band whose silly name morphed my silly user name...listen to Coil and be an instant fan) Jim Croce ( every song, every chord, every lyric was pure GOLD) |

Do you get into Dave Matthews at all? I didn't film this, but I was on the lawn for this one. One of may favorites. It "speaks" to me. "Celebrate we will ..... because life is short but sweet for certain" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovLO29malzA "Two Step" Hey, my love, I came to you with best intentions You laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking Love , you drive me to distraction Hey my love do you believe that we might last a thousand years Or more if not for this, our flesh and blood It ties you and me right up Tie me down Celebrate we will Because life is short but sweet for certain We're climbing two by two To be sure these days continue These things we cannot change Hey , my love, your can to me like wine comes to this mouth Grown tired of water all the time You quench my heart and you quench my mind Celebrate we will Because life is short but sweet for certain We''re climbing two by two To be sure these days continue The things we cannot Celebrate , you and me ,climbing two by two ,to be sure these days continue , these things we cannot change Oh , my love I came to you with best intentions You laid down down and gave to me just what I'm seeking Celebrate we will Because life is short But sweet for certain We're climbing two by two to be sure these days continue Things we cannot change... Things we cannot change |
Dead
Hi Steve-
Yeah, I can't say I'm a Dead Head but I do like quite a few of their songs...this one is probably one of my favorites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XacvydVrhuI Haven't really gotten into Dave Matthews much, but that was a cool clip you posted, and awesome lyrics. Funny thing is, the Dead used to play quite a bit at the Oakland Coliseum and we'd go and spend the day wandering around the parking lot :D. I'd always wonder why they had so huge of a following, and that people would literally follow them across the country. I finally WENT IN to the concert :p at a show at the Mountain View Ampitheatre and understood the following. Experiencing the Grateful Dead live was quite the treat :cool: Space was a "unique" event.......:D EK- cool song, thanks for posting that. Also, LOVE Black Sabbath with both Ozzy & Dio. Great thread everyone, look forward to more posts- Sincerely, Clayton |
A quick one
A quick one for those of you who are into old school punk :)

Great songs Steve !!
Love the footage (a nun flashing a peace sign :D). Ever listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujIbpt-CCTY I like many different types of music, but classic rock is the music that's been in my life the longest (ever since I can remember as a kid). I love the old stuff :D Sincerely, Clayton |
Hey Steve
Check this one out. I was at this concert, it was a free concert in the Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, in memorial for the concert promoter Bill Graham who had passed away. It was an excellent day, many of the bands he promoted over the decades played, it was quite an experience. :)

It helped with the lyrics, great songwriter. And, very positive. Feel good music :D I must be bi-polar, because I also listen to a lot of aggresive, negative toned, "angry music" :D:p as well. I guess it's all about the mood. Thanks for turning me on to The Dave Matthews Band :) Sincerely, Clayton |
Quote:
There is a Dave song/show for every mood and that is what drives me to his band. If you are pissed off you can find a song that matches your mood .... if you are happy you can find a version OF THE EXACT SAME SONG that will enlighten your mood. Now give me some Clayton noise :) p.s. You (and everybody else) MUST listen to the Ani song I linked to above. I have been a fan since the early 90's and she is one bad woman. |

Well, not to into the aggro mood today :D, but thought this was worthy of posting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3pM80vril0 Sincerely, Clayton |
